Did you ever fly too high on the wings of hope?Did you ever realise that time was always on your side?Did you ever dive too deep into the sea of love?Did you ever break the bread?And was the madness only in your head?

And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was coldAnd the thoughts that flew so highFeeling fearless feeling bold

Did you ever fly too high on the wings of hope?Did you ever realise that the answers stood before your eyes?

And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold(In times when I flew too close to the heart of the sun)And the thoughts that flew so highFeeling fearless feeling bold(At time when I flew too close to the heart)

We had nights of magic in our eyesDays of thunder rolling byFeeling like we'd never die

And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold(In times when I flew too close to the heart of the sun)And the thoughts that flew so highFeeling fearless feeling bold(At time when I flew too close to the heart)

And the demons wake while the mannequin sleepsAll the ticking and the tocking of the clock that weepsAnd the demons wake while the mannequin sleepsAnd I pray the Lord my soul to keep

The wave of lust as always is the thorn that's in your sideThe whore of Babylon waiting in a doorwayTo mug you and your prideJudge jury and executioner all laughing in the face of trustStanding in the dock while the angry faces mockAnd strip you of all lustAll your dreams and illusions now shatteredTrampled under foot crawling on the floor in tattersSentenced passed and destinedTo wear the sackcloth for the evils of the world

Standing over me the good and bad that go unseenInfluence and lull me into false securityA cocktail of spiritual alchemy I take the bait so carelesslyThe all seeing lead the blind the deaf and dumb

Careless and boundary freePicking at the scars of societyOff with his head cried those I'll at easeThe sober and the sane

Forgotten by time itselfWashed up too drunk and on the shelfBut a thorn in the side of the civilised worldThe elders and the right

So locked alone in a white padded cellNo one can hear you so go ahead and yellOut of sight and out of mindYou're just one of the army that fell

Who is it?Who goes there?But how unwelcomes is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wiseSpeaking out in riddles and lashing out with tongues you tell meThe truth lies before my eyes

But who is this enemy unseen?The face that hides behind the masquerade?Like the circus marching back into town you tell meYou can't see it in the rainYou can't taste it in the air you breath you tell meYou'll never fly that far againThese dreamers have their waysOn wide wings they fly away

You can't see it in the windYou can't feel it in the rainIn every beat of your heartEvery word that's spoken in vain
